Crystal Blue Persuasion

Does anybody remember that song?

I still have the 45 of it from when I was a tween!

I was curious about the song's meaning so I looked it up and found this interesting article if you want to read it "here" It wasn't about drugs as many had thought so I'm glad for that. I'm including the song at the bottom of the link in case you are too young to know what song I'm referring to!

So to get on with my title.....

I looked out and saw this beautiful blue sky and ice encrusted branches of the beech tree and that song popped in my head.

God inspired

I saw a big floppy earned bunny out by the bird feeder a few days ago just before dawn. I thought I'd snap a picture but the second I moved my eyes to turn on the camera he was gone!

I noticed a lot of activity out front by the blue spruce tree...Mr. Bunny is hiding out there and heading out back for his "bird seed dining". It's been brutal this winter and I imagine a lot of critters are struggling.

I love seeing nature but I do worry about what kind of munching is going on under that snow on my plans, shrubs and trees.

The birds seem comfortable and enjoy the sun too

How deep is the snow? Hmmm.....

Liz,Although the Winter has been brutal in many parts of the Mid~West,one can not look upon these photos and not be blessed, dear friend!!!We are so very pleased that our resident Spring 2013 baby bunny,affectionately named, "Pee Wee" is still with us here on the Prairie.He eats from the ground level bird feeder and hops up on the deckwhen he wants "Mr. Ed" to add more corn. . .or just to wink his brown eye!Spring can't be far away. . .but I agree it's going to take some serious sun shine to melt all that SNOW!!!Have a wonderful weekend!!!Fondly,Pat

I definitely remember this song and it's rather nice to hear it again. Every now and again I'll find a song playing in the back of my mind, one that somehow links to something I'd been thinking about. Your song is such an appropriate one for the beautiful blue skies in your photos this week. A little more "peace and good brotherhood" would be a fine thing.

Hi Liz, Oh yes, I remember the song. What gorgeous blue skies in your photos. I live in Georgia and we are having a very clear day today. It's nice to see the birds active in today's sunshine. I have enjoyed meeting you thru Sunlit Sunday. Wishing you a very nice week.

Although I'm not familiar with this song, I did have a listen and can understand why it came to your mind at the sight of that blue sky, pierced by bare branches that sprout from a snowy foundation below! What sparkle behind the trees - God's brilliance, bright and bold and present in all its splendour!

I do remember that song Liz. I guess I never really knew the words so mostly hummed along. :) Your photos are so pretty and the sky so blue. We have had gorgeous blue skies here for a week now too. The sun sure has a lot of power to it now and the snow is slowly going down but there's more snow on the way this week. I hope you have a blessed week.
